It is available on a number of plaforms including the pSeries and SP2 systems (you can also put it on a Linux box which I would think includes the eSeries).

You will need support for concurrently accessible disks. I pulled the following list from an IBM doc (it may be dated):
IBM 7135-110 and 210 RAIDiant Disk Array

* IBM 7137 Disk Arrays
* IBM 9333 serial disk subsystems
* IBM 7133 or 7131-405 SSA Disk Subsystems
* IBM 2105-B09 and 100 Versatile Storage Servers
* IBM 2105-E10 and E20 Enterprise Storage Servers

You can also use EMC disks.

You will need to purchase the HACMP software with the CRM/PSSP options. I have successfully implemented the OPS predecessor to RAC on the pSeries and SP2 architectures w/either IBM or EMC disk subsystems.

One word of caution. If you go the EMC route make sure you load the EMC software after you have loaded all the IBM HACMP/ES/CRM software or you could be in for a ride figuring out how to make your disks concurrently accessible.

Also note that there are different procedures for creating concurrently accessible logical volumes depending in the model of IBM disk. EMC disks must be treated as RAID type disks in accordance with the installation documentation!!!
